Body

For many organizations nowadays it's necessary to access packages (npm, docker, ...) from systems like Vercel or other (custom ones as well).

Right now the only option is to authentication with a personal access token to read from the registry. Which means organizations have to add a bot user to their organization to create a classic PAT. In my opinion it should be possible to cover the access of private packages via GitHub Apps or some kind of "Personal Access Token" on orgnization level ("OAT - Organizational Access Token").

I've read that the general concept of having another option to authenticate is already a feature request. (https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/48186#discussioncomment-5123890). But since then some time went by and I wanted to use this discussion to make aware of the urge of this feature.
